The UK is also blessed with bounteous renewable energy resources, including a significant proportion of Europe's entire wind energy potential and a massive potential resource of wave and tidal energy.
It is important, therefore that the UK leads in reducing emissions because if we do not, other countries that will now need to develop their own economies without recourse to heavy CO2 emissions are unlikely to agree to such a course of action.
The contribution of an overall 1.5% reduction in global CO2 emissions represented by the UK's target of a 60% reduction of CO2 emitted by 2050 is in itself not insignificant.

To that extent, I feel sorry for the Minister, because he has been saddled with the impact of the decision to merge the franchise, which was taken by the Government and by Richard Bowker when he was chairman of the Strategic Rail Authority.
I say to the Minister that for those of us with constituencies from which people commute to London and to which people commute from London to work, as is the case in Maidenhead, the Government need to take into account the time that that journey takes and the frequency of the service.
My constituents do not aim to be in the office by 9 am; many of them, particularly those who commute to the City of London, have to be in the office by 8 or 8.30 am.
